Methodology

• This is an interactive energizer, which follows The Juggling Experience.
• Everyone goes through the steps to learn to juggle with three bounceless balls.
• We step into the shoes of kinesthetic, spatial, musical and interpersonal learners.
• We help one another to work on our individual skills as mentors and coaches.
• At every step we forgive ourselves for imperfection and celebrate the learning process.
• We learn to recognize and respect our own accomplishment and the achievement of others.
• Teaching tips help us be able to transfer these exciting skills to others when we get home.
• We end this session with a spectacular performance by members of the group!

Why it Works

• We work with multiple intelligence theories that help break down barriers to learning.
• We use music as a method for learning the steps in the process and for inculcating a beat.
• We experience how slow-motion juggling with scarves helps us learn with fast-moving balls.
• Everyone struggles, but since we are struggling together everyone gains patience and skill.
• By recapturing the "present moment" of children, participants rediscover their love of play.
• Although immediate success is not guaranteed, with practice success will be seen as inevitable.
